Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

A recurring theme I've noticed, but crap third-party MP3 players..Before MP3 players were ubiquitous, and Ipods weren't commonplace and cheap, I decided to purchase a KONKA MP3 player.
It was a whole 100MB and ran on a single AA battery, not even being chargeable via USB.
It sounded awful, constantly corrupted the music files and ate batteries like a fat bastard eats pies.
Still, it was cheap and I bloody loved that thing. It died an ignominious death after I forgot to change the battery and it leaked inside the unit.
I now have an MP3/4 player about the same size as a deck of cards, and it's never steered me wrong yet.
